Gorgeous Hair

1 | Camouflage roots by zigzagging your part rather than making it straight. February 1981

2 | Brush hair from roots to ends nightly. This distributes natural oils throughout the shaft and gives hair a healthy sheen. October 2005

3 | Be direct when telling your hairstylist what you want, and bring photos from magazines of styles you like. April 1971

4 | Doing your color yourself? Don’t make too drastic a change. Stay within one or two shades of your natural color. October 1955

5 | Comb wet hair like the pros: Hold a handful at a time and work from center to ends, then scalp to center. March 1963

6 | Never let a stylist interfere with the natural hairline on your neck. The hair there is cowlicklike and will stick out when it grows. February 1976

7 | Always rinse out conditioner (which should go on hair ends) with cold water to seal the cuticle and promote shine. September 2009

8 | Protect hair from sun damage with a scarf or hat. June 1938

9 | Keep a blowout lasting days longer by sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase. September 2009

10 | Change your part to boost body and volume. April 2010

11 | To fix hat-head, bend over and shake your head a few times. Then run fingers through hair to add volume. For even more body, mist a natural-bristle brush with hairspray, bend over and brush lightly from underneath. February 1990

12 | Avoid frizz: Use only a widetooth comb, especially when hair is dry. January 1940

13 | If you color your hair, look for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, which don’t contain harsh detergents. September 2009
